The sportsmen think that bird shooting is
now about over There is one form of sport
however, that will be fine from now out and
that is fox hunting, The foxes are very
plenty and one is sure of starting eynard
any good morning. BY the way the idea thai
frosty morning is best for hunting the willy
fox is a mistake The dog on such morn
ing covers first frosty territory, then wei
ground and next place where the earth and
grass is perfectly dry and the change in the
scent breaks him up and misleads him. A
good cold morning is the best for a fox hunt
and under such conditions a dog will stay
with the turkey stealer all day,

What Am I To Do2

The symptoms of Bilousness are unhappi-
ly but too well known. They differ in
different individuals to some extent. A
Bilious man is seldom a breakfast eater
Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for solids of
morning. His tongue will hardly bear in
spection at any time; if it is not white and
furred, it is rough, at all events
The digestive system is wholly out of order
and Diarrhea or Constipation may be symp-
tom or the two may alternate. There are
often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood
There may be giddiness and often headache
acidity or flatulence and tenderness in the pit
of the stomach. To correct all this if not
effect cure try Green's August Flower, it
costs but trifle and thousands attest its eff
cacy.

scarcely one who ever became more than a

secretary said he did not know Neither did
the treasurer. On being pressed they pro-

wreck. Only three bodies have been re-
covered from the ruins They are Kelley,
aged thirty-fve; Hebson Reece, foreman,
and William Albertson. Engineer Cox and
dozen others were seriously injured About
forty men were working on the boat at the
time of the explosion, and the were several
bystanders on he barge close by. Pieces Of
the wreck were found half mile away. A
number are still missing, and it is feared
were thrown into the river by the force Of
the explosion. Seven men were hurled a
score of feet into the air and fell into the
river, and it is not known whether they
escaped. A gang of men is now dredging
for bodies. The explosion was caused by a
condemned boiler, and criminality attaches
to the company, who had been repeatedly
warned not to use the defective boiler.

Henry Chatfield Dies After an Almost
Desperate Surgical Operation.
NEW YORK, June Henry Chatfleld, Of
lis Henry street, Brooklyn, the head Of the
hosiery department Of a Fulton street notion
store, died yesterday afternoon Of the effect
Of the lodgment Of an orange seed in his in
testines. He had been ill for several weeks
with inflammation Of the intestines, followed
by liberation. DR.. Emerson, his physician,
two days ago called In DR.. William GilhllAn
for consultation, and they, having decided
that an operation was necessary, procured
the assistance Of DR.. f. H. Cotton. Yester-
day morning the three doctors made an In
cision, and after removing quantity Of puS
found the source Of the trouble and removed
1t. The patient however, was unabls to
rally from the shock, and died about o'clock
DR.. Gilfillan said last night:
'The operation was a desperate one, and
was undertaken only as last resort. There
was no possibility of saving the patient
otherwise. The orange seed was found
lodged in the appendix vermiformis. This Il
q small sac that is attached to one part Of
the intentines. What purpose it serves is
not exactly known 1t is, however sort
Of trap, always ready to catch and Eold hard
substances passing through the intestines.
The lodgment of such substances in it is not
invariably fatal, but the exceptions are rare
Seeds oloranges, raisins, and similar fruits
are peculiarly liable to be caught in this
way. Is it dangerous TO eat orangesl Well,
suppose in city of this size there is one
case year of death from such cause.
Very frequently it is an orange seed, but not
always. There are about 900, 900 people In
Brooklyn, all eating oranges right along,
and with one death year from this cause
It would seem to be about as dangerous to
eat an orange as to sit in the house and wait
for stray pistol ball to kill you. Still, it's
Just as safe and good deal nicer not to
swallow the seeds when you eat oranges"

that great destitution prevailed in Westport
and vicinity, and that short time ago an
agent of the home secretary had made ar
rangements by which the government would
furnish passage to America for the destitute
people provided they could secure letters
from friends in America showing that they
would be cared for after their arrival, These
letters had been secured by all the emigrants
except woman with five children and an
insane man recently released from an asy-
lum. After hearing their statement, those
who could give the addresses of their friends
were allowed to land, subject to the condi-
tion that if their friends refused to take
charge of them, they should be returned by

the line. The insane man and the woman
with her five children will be sent back on

BosToN, June There is soon to be a
rattliug OF the dry bones of Massachusetts,
politics which will have loud National echo.
The friends of John F. Andrew, who expect
for him an uncontested denomination for
governor by the Democratic convention this
fall, when the chances Of Democratic success
will be better than for several years, are
likely to hear something within few weeks
that will sadden the Mugwump heart. The
only hint Of what Is coming is contained in a
ch cular which Col. Noah Plimpton is sending
} hundreds of the leaders Of the great Butler
boom which swept the state in 1888. This
circular is an invitation to be present at the
Revere hou1e on Thursday afternoon next for
the ptirpose of forming a Butler club. 1t is
set forth that the objects of the club are
social and personal; that it is proposed to
meet periodically for the purpose Of seeing
and listening to their old leader, Gen. Butler,
for whom their admiration never dies
